Your New Essential: Homemade Facial Toner Recipe For Daily use

DIY face toner spray recipe. A relaxing and refreshing diy beauty essential.

Imagine being able to transform your skin with just a few simple ingredients from nature. No more searching through countless products on the shelves or spending a fortune on expensive skincare treatments. In this article, we will unlock the power of nature and reveal the secrets to creating your own DIY toner. Get ready to discover the incredible benefits of natural ingredients that can give you a radiant complexion in the blink of an eye. You are going to love this homemade face toner.

Skin toners are used to help restore the skin’s natural pH balance after cleansing, remove any leftover traces of makeup or dirt, and prepare the skin to better absorb moisturizers and other skincare products. They can also tighten pores, refresh the skin, and provide hydration depending on the formulation. For those with oily or acne-prone skin, toners containing ingredients like witch hazel can help reduce excess oil and prevent breakouts. Overall, toners act as a beneficial step in a skincare routine by enhancing cleanliness and boosting the effectiveness of subsequent treatments.

DIY Face Toner Spray Materials And Natural Ingredients:

  • 4 or 8 oz spray bottle
  • Alcohol-free Witch Hazel
  • 100% Pure Lavender Essential Oil (I think the Young Living brand is best and I am a distributor. Check me out on Instagram.)

This toner recipe is so easy to make and it feels so great on your skin! To truly harness the power of nature and create DIY toners that work wonders for your skin, it’s essential to understand the incredible benefits that natural ingredients bring to the table. From nourishing antioxidants to soothing properties, the world of natural skincare is filled with endless possibilities for achieving a healthier and more radiant complexion.

Lavender and witch hazel have anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce redness, irritation, and even acne. By incorporating these soothing ingredients into your DIY toners, you can achieve a balanced and calm complexion, free from unwanted blemishes and irritations. Tea tree oil, known for its antibacterial properties, is another fantastic ingredient to incorporate into your DIY toner. Alternatively, rosemary oil is known for its antioxidant properties, which can promote a youthful complexion. By understanding the benefits of natural ingredients for your skin, you can unlock the full potential of DIY toners and create a skincare routine tailored to your needs.

Whether you have dry skin, normal skin, or oily skin, this DIY witch hazel face toner is great for each skin type and it is a natural astringent.

How To Make Witch Hazel Toner Recipe With Essential Oils

Here is how to make toner for face and skin. It is so easy and it does wonders for refreshing your skin.

To make your own DIY toner, unscrew the cap on your small bottle and fill it up with witch hazel. Did you know that witch hazel has many benefits for the skin? According to Healthline, it helps ease inflammation, fights acne, and soothes sensitive skin.

You can use scented or unscented witch hazel but definitely make sure it is alcohol-free. (Or the alcohol will actually make your skin dry!) My favorite brand of witch hazel is Thayer’s. It’s been around for decades and is a very reputable brand.  

You can use raw apple cider vinegar and water in 1:1 ratio as a substitute for witch hazel. It is also a good toner and the smell of vinegar evaporates as it dries. It is known to help restore the natural pH balance of your skin and also for reducing age spots.

After the bottle is filled with witch hazel, add 10 drops of your 100% pure Lavender essential oil. When creating your DIY toner, it’s important to consider the concentration of your ingredients. While natural ingredients can be powerful allies in your skincare routine, using them in excessive amounts can cause skin irritation. Always start with smaller quantities and gradually increase as needed, paying attention to how your skin responds. This way, you can find the right balance and create an effective toner that is gentle and suits your unique skin type.

Lavender oil is very healing and is great for your skin if you happen to have any blemishes forming. You can use tea tree oil as a substitute for lavender essential oil. It is especially good for acne-prone skin. 

Give a little shake and you are ready to spray and enjoy beautiful skin! That’s it!

How To Use A Spray Toner

This toner recipe is for informational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical condition. Always perform a patch test before using any new skincare product to check for allergic reactions or sensitivities. If you have sensitive skin, are pregnant, or have any medical concerns, consult with a healthcare professional or dermatologist before using essential oils.

Use toner as part of your skincare routine after you wash your face. Washing your face with warm water usually opens up the pores so they can be cleansed. Toner helps the pores contract back down to reduce the appearance of pores. It also provides antibacterial properties to help prevent the formation of pimples. 

I like the spray bottle for easy application. How to use spray toner on face? Just spritz your face lightly with a spray to your cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin. This toner for skin should also be sprayed on the décolletage (your neck and chest). Then you can leave as is and it will dry in about a minute. This is my favorite method for ease.

However there are two more ways to apply toner if you prefer them. You can spritz a bit onto a cotton pad (or cotton ball) and then use that to evenly wipe your entire face. Or you can spray your palms and then pat them onto your face. Use the method that makes you most likely to do it every day after you wash your face. You are going to love the natural glow!

Then follow the face toner spray with a moisturizing essential oil roller.
